This is not my story, I found it on the internet. I translated it myself :)
From the first person...
I will immediately say that this trick was not invented by me. I am sure someone has used it once with different levels of success. But please note that nothing in this story has been adorned or exaggerated.
I had several tickets for a sports competition that I was unable to attend for personal reasons. So I decided to sell them.
Ebay with the duration of the auction in 1 day, while stating the above reason for the sale and clearly stated that the tickets must be picked up from hand to hand within 24 hours (since the game should be held in the evening on the day of the end of the auction, and time to send by mail will not be). A lady won a $600 auction at 10 a.m. the day before the game. But by five o’clock in the evening she never responded to my numerous emails asking me to contact me to exchange tickets for money. Finally, at 9:30 p.m. I get this line on my email: “I have overpaid for them, and my husband doesn’t allow me to spend that money. I am sorry. Good time to spend! :) “
I tried to explain that in such a short time I will not be able to sell them, as the auction ends early the next morning (and the other losing buyers have already refused me). But she said that she said, “Not my problem. This is eBay, not a car dealer. If I want, I can refuse.” I never understood where the car dealer was.
Naturally, I was very upset because I was left with tickets for a game that I will not see. This is where I have a mature plan.
I opened another profile on Ebay, naming it "Payback" ("Payback"), and sent it a message: "Hi, I saw that you won an offer for 4 tickets. The fact is that I wanted to get them but didn’t have time to get to the comp. I was going to take my family to the game, and if you agree, I’ll be happy to buy them from you for $1,000. I understand that you’ve probably already planned everything and won’t sell it, but I thought what the hell isn’t a joke. »
At 11:30 p.m. she writes to Payback: “I sell, but for $1,100, not less. I can meet you at the stadium if you want. Give me your phone number.”
At 11:35 p.m. Payback answers: “In my hands, here is my phone...”
(Thank you Google Voice for the one-time number.) She called a few minutes later and forced Payback to “promise” to her that she would not give up the deal.
He said he would lose a lot of money if he refused.
Payback naturally promised something like this in life is not capable of.
At 11:45 p.m. she writes (already to me personally): “OK, I’ll buy them. But you’ll have to bring them to me tonight, I’ve already found the money.”
By midnight I walked up to the threshold of her house. She was disgusting and rude, which did not surprise me. It didn’t help the situation and the fact that I asked for another $20 for delivery (although 12 hours a night). It became even more inconvenient, and she literally poured my 31st $20 note into me. I recounted the money and handed her the tickets, thanked for the purchase, was sent on the phone, and after receiving a farewell my middle finger went home.
The next day, around 10 o’clock in the morning, she called Payback to make sure the deal went as planned. But Payback said he could not go to the game and that the contract was cancelled. She instantly broke the roof, and I swear that she didn’t just start whispering, but exposing herself to some demonic language. But Payback explained that “Mam, it’s not my problem. This is
Ebay, not an auto dealer.
Ten minutes later, I receive a furious email with the following content (which has no grammatical rules):
“You are a fucking joke! You know what they do in jail. You are a thief!!! to
You will go to hell! I have already to the police, the FBI, the fire department, and government agencies. end to you. I have your name and phone number.
This is called property robbery, FUCKER!!! Give me my $620 or it will happen to you - FUCK!!! I will not let you snatch me.
Give the money back or it won’t seem!!! You don’t want a court case. Believe me, you do not want. You can get the tickets, but give the money and we’ll end it.”
This is most of the email, literally. But that is not all. After a hysterical speech, she probably pressed “Introduction” 30 times, writing the word FUCK on a new line, then another 30 times the input and the word HELL. Then she signed her name. There are firefighters...
I haven’t heard of her anymore, I don’t know if she went to the game or not.
Did I do an immoral thing? Judge by yourself.
